@@DDS029These were great graphics for 2003. The game was really ahead of its time in terms of physics and graphics. If it remastered for wide screens and modern wheel support it would be incredible.
As someone who makes paints for several NR2003 mods, you have no idea how many mods exists; not just for Cup, but for the other physics types the games offers for the modding scene
If you want to use a controller with NR2003, try using steering help, it really helps - I've even raced with a keyboard using that. Not easy, but it works. Also, if you want the Nikon car back, I painted it for the SNG 2003 mod, it's in the Stunod downloads, just saying :P ...oh yeah, and AI difficulty is weird at superspeedways, you should probably always race against 100% AI, otherwise they start checking up unnecessarily and it can really mess things up like when the field got separated in your first race here
I started my online racing career on nr2003. I’m now 2500 irating in iracing. Such an awesome game and the whole community is really what makes this game incredible.
I wonder if Dale Earnhardt Jr. is still playing 2003. I remember he showed off his multiplayer racing sim setup at home over a decade ago and he was big into Nascar sim racing with his buddies.
I remember that! I think his handle was "Outlaw" back in the day. He used to host / run in a truck league that was by invitation only. It was fun racing with him and hangout online after the race.
He rarely showed up in the papy servers, and when he did, he was not impressive, but, much better than you. :) you have a lot to learn as shown by this video.
What other NASCAR game lets you race what ever you want wherever you want while possibly being the most realistic NASCAR game ever made? That’s why this game is the best. Even if you don’t want to drive or can’t drive you can still have fun with it.
Have loved this game since it came out. I use the ICR mod and created a whole series and brought in a lot of older tracks including Riverside, Walt Disney, IRP, Myrtle Beach, Texas World, and Nazareth
My only experience with an iRacing game is last years World of Outlaws and noticed the AI (and physics) is so far ahead of other console racers. They need to do the same for a new standalone Nascar game!
Thanks for putting this together! I have never played NR2003 before, but I do I have copy of NR2002 (my favorite NASCAR game of all time) that I have put countless hours across more than a dozen full season into. I am looking forward to trying NR2003 for the first time.
Just literally got off this sim, came to UA-cam and this was the first video that popped up. Definitely the GOAT of simracing, this is coming from an iracer
Gawd dang it!! I have all the newer racing sims out there ( Except iracing , I let that lapse ) but I still have all my original Nascar 2000 , 2002 & 2003 , along with like 10 other's.....I had no idea that 2003 had mods!! I guess I never looked into it. I mainly run Assetto Corsa , RRE , AMS 1 and 2 and Rfactor 2 , but wanted a dedicated , some what upto date Nascar game.....and I've had it all along!! Thank you for this video. I'm doing some major investigating on this!
GN55, GN63, GN69ST, GN70SS, Aero88... You can race from Daytona Beach, to North Wilkesboro, to Riverside, to Texas World, to (the list goes on and on)... Best racing sim since GPL. Press 'n' to get the car to show in the mirror. Have fun!
I have no idea why didn't you make aa championship series on this game yet. Early 2000s? Cup2000 mod, S&G from 2003-2006 mods are absolute masterpieces. Splash&Go also made amazing 90s mod, Cup98. It's amazing Their mods have amazing damage models are the models world great with the game's AI. If I were you I'd begin a "career of some sort" series that would start in 1993 and end in let's say 2011. Each year, different paintscheme
I still have both my 2002 and 2003 Disks. On a whim i installed 2003 a month ago, now I'm itching to mod and run it again. Only PJC2 gives this game a run for its money. Used to have this modded with a Road Racing Series with Hotrod Model Nascars that sounded like absolute THUNDER when they raced!! Love Nascar Sierra series!
@@pmurphy18 if he stopped playing crappy igntion & focused on this + NT2004 that would be awesome, but I get the ignition videos get the most views for whatever reason so thats why he does them
I was watching/listening to this video while cooking so here are some video ideas I had 1. Since not all the 2022 tracks have been made for the game maybe a championship with the next gens but on an older schedule like the 1998 or 2000 seasons 2. Could also take a look at some of the goofier mods for the game like rainbow road and all the cursed versions of tracks like Daytona, dega, Texas, or Bristol. There’s also a car set that makes every car into a cube if I remember correctly
29:30 - You can clear a black flag in mutliplayer Races, you can add AI in multiplayer Races, so it's possible to create a server just for yourself to join and have AI, you can do roughly the same iRacing commands on NR2003 as long as you're in multiplayer.
This has gotten me curious on what NR-1 would look like at "full" graphics . . . never had a computer that could run it that way, before NR-2 came out, and ran that with downgraded graphics. That may be my first UA-cam video, showing all of them at full graphics. Throw in the DTR series, Leadfoot and the other racing games I have that date waaaaaayyy back.
I'm proud (I think) to say, as a near 67 year-old, I have everyone of in the Papyrus NASCAR Racing series. NR-1 to NR2003. Also NASCAR Legends. You want hard to drive fast? Try NL. The true physics of a 3500 pound, 115 wheelbase, drum brake, big block (very front heavy) monster. If you can run Riverside, with no assists, competitively, right off the bat . . . you're my new hero.
By the way, I used to be part of the MasGrafx crew. Always in the top 3 of most popular NR sites. It got so popular that it shut down because too many of the artists started doing real schemes. After all, who wouldn't do the same thing you were already doing, but for money. I still have most of the files that I did from then. Cars, logos, numbers, numbersets, infield trucks, crews, etc. I need to figure out the best way to make them available . . . that is IF today's "painters" GIVE credit for the work they use, instead of TAKING credit for it. I always put a hidden thing in my stuff. I knew who you guys were . . .
I can't get this game to work I use the download with the no cd exe. I followed the read me file. And I get a shortcut not the exe file. Causing a no cd. From shortcut. And a failed config. Makes me sad
I hope the developers are aware of the legacy they’ve created with this game. We’re past the 20 year anniversary of this game and it’s still going strong. Wish someone would’ve put the game on Steam for easier access to the game along with Steam’s workshop feature for mods.
I hope iRacing keeps publishing standalone games with the caliber they put into 2022’s World of Outlaws. They have some of the best AI and physics in the business.
I still have to get a copy of NR 2003... I already have NR4 which I got back in '01, about two weeks before Daytona and the passing of Dale Earnhardt... NR4 is a great simulator, but limited as compared to 2003... The modern iRacing is built from the old NR 2003 Sierra/Papyrus platform...
For good or bad, now that it's in public domain that can be done. It's hard enough to keep things compatible with each other with all of the mods and .ini tweaks.
The reason this game is so good is Papyrus released the tools to mod the game to the players. You can go into your track folders and adjust drag grip etc to make the game realistic You can adjust virtually everything in the game This is the secret to a great game. EA Sports will never understand that. Damage models everything is adjustable once you go in the track folders and learn the basics the game is one of the best sports games ever created. Again give credit to Papyrus for giving the players the tools to make it so before they sold it to EA.
I'm still amazed how well this sim has stood the test of time over the years. I was amazing back in the day and still is better than almost anything made today. I can't stand it when people use third-person view. For crying out loud, people, it's a simulation... SIT in the cockpit not on the hood,
A fun challenge you can do on this game is live racing with the TV/Spectator/Helicopter camera. When you’re in the menu, you can hold down the C button, which will start changing your camera. While holding it down click on race or qualifying (or whatever you want to do) and it’ll glitch and start going through them. However if you try to change the camera you can’t go back to it. A fun challenge that I always did when I played this game.
You can definitely clear a black flag, penelty, even put out the yellow. You got to go to your other section in options and change those comments. The code is on the Weebly site I believe. Too lazy to look it up for you rn lol
Depends on the 'mod'. We did a semi-mod for ARCA at MasGrafx years ago. It didn't change the .gns physics, but it was more than a carset. It also changed the pace car, Goodyear truck to a Hoosier truck, Cup trailer to ARCA-RE/MAX trailer, officials, added the RE/MAX banner on the windshield, Hoosier on the rear spoiler. I did a carset with pit crews for the generic multiplayer set. All of the cars came with individual driver, pit crew and pitbox graphics.
Still boggles me how a game that is nearly 20 years old is loads better than whatever the mess that we get today
They relied on sim-physics rather than putting too much effort into graphics. You could only do so much with graphics back then.
@@DDS029These were great graphics for 2003. The game was really ahead of its time in terms of physics and graphics. If it remastered for wide screens and modern wheel support it would be incredible.
iRacing is the modern day equivalent. But it is pricey and can't mod like this.
As someone who makes paints for several NR2003 mods, you have no idea how many mods exists; not just for Cup, but for the other physics types the games offers for the modding scene
Aren't there indycar mods and F1 mods and rally mods and pretty much everything?
@@DoubleTeaMedia Yup
@@flynnzone70 ngl I'd love to see some group B rally on NR2003. That'd be wild
Is there a goody's dash mod?

Best AI ever for a nascar game....no other nascar has come close to the behavior of the AI in nascar 2003 game.

You can drive the old disney world track in the game, it's like a tiny Pocono.

online racing is easily the best part of this game - it's what most people actually bought the papyrus games for back when they were first released
Not right away. Not many had the internet connectivity to handle it. Although with them trying to make it DSL-friendly then makes it a breeze today.
you can still race on line. our league still runes nr 2003 season
I tried racing the 70's cup car around the Eight bowl and it was epic!
OG's remember the video way back when he raced at Indianapolis
Early 2000 to late was the peak of nascar the way the car looked the racing was awesome back when the car was actually a,stock car

This game seems pretty radical
Don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing this game is still the best NASCAR game 20ish years later.
Absolutely a bad thing
I hope iRacing keeps publishing standalone games with the caliber they put into 2022’s World of Outlaws. They have some of the best AI and physics in the business.
I found a mod that used the CTS physics with the cup car horsepower. It’s without a doubt the best thing I’ve driven.
I still make content for this game and I'm glad it's remembered for being as good as it was, and still is.
Anyone know how to change cams
how do I get a resolution 1920x1080 in nr2003? every time I do it, it doesn't work... And also I just got this game and its a W!
Counted 20 rolls in that crash you were a bit off lmao
If you want a car painted for anything I could do it lmao

You can do a race at Talladega and Daytona but the track is all grass
We need that spotter in 2005 as in nascar ask Greg Biffle went for flipping in that car at Dover the spider say are you okay.
I noticed in the video you were using the hood view, I just downloaded the game and all I have is cockpit view. Can you post how to change the view.
What’s up buddy how are you? Can we do 2001 with Dale Earnhardt and Kevin Harvick plus Jimmie Johnson in their 2001 schemes
There is a EXE, that lets you have double file restarts green white checkers etc
For good or bad, now that it's in public domain that can be done. It's hard enough to keep things compatible with each other with all of the mods and .ini tweaks.
This and dirt to daytona are the best
How do you change the view of the car ?
You need the gen4 sound pack for the 2007 vids

What’s Michigan BR? Do they have a Michigan Night mod? I would love a night race(Ik that track don’t have lights)

Hi RealRadman I cant find where you can install this game. can you please help
I want to play this so bad, but my computer won’t install it. Help?
Search the net for your specific problem. Multithreaded processors, some old AMD processors, etc., can give you issues.

Do the mods come with different physics to model how the cars drive or are the mods just an appearance package

You should play the OG Nascar Heat from 2000 (I think).
The links on your description need to be updated. Will this run on Windows 11? What are the tech specs?
2022 exe offers 5 gears. Also, there is an exe that offers some side drafting
.pta physics give you 6.
Also the 'side drafting' can kind of be done by tweaking the .ini files.
@@DDS029 can you elaborate on the side drafting ini settings?
Try playing nascar rivals but if you get 1m like’s then you get a switch
I slowed it down to .25 speed, it was 20 rolls there.
north wilkesboro gotta be next to download!
N.Wilkes was in earlier NR sims. Maybe could be reimagined from NASCAR Legends which was based off of NASCAR 3 or 4 code.
If you make a vid on the next gen mod, make sure to get the full 2022 set from ncrd
The quality of it is insane
An Xfinity pack is coming soon too
It’s actually sad that NASCAR games peaked in the early 2000’s everything now is a joke and not to mention unplayable
Finally. Let me know if you need help. I have YEARS of experience with this.
FINALLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
So are we done with iracing or? This is cool too but yeah, what happened with that?
He just gets lazy and switches things up lol which i find hilarious because this is supposedly his full tome job
Wish They Would Make A Console Version Of This Because I Can't Do PC Games
Yes. If they had this on a console, I would NEVER get off the game. It's a shame that heat 5 is still the most current Nascar Game we have 😡
Here at 152 views. NR2003 is something else. :]
Marlin deep in Mayfields guts 🤣
Make sure to adjust the player.ini and rend_dxg.ini files so you don't get blurry graphics!
It'd be cool to go wayyyy old school and make innovation a thing with older cars lol
Mod wise
